mSATArse

Remember last night's deal, well this is the other one I wanted to post but couldn't get the rep to agree. A few PMs between us today and we finally came to an agreement. Currently the lowest price in the land, and available for immediate delivery.

Sale is limited to 1 per person for fairness. Apply coupon mSATArse at checkout, and select the second delivery option (with insurance). All stock is shipped from Australia, and should be delivered within 1-2 business days. Again, hope to bring you plenty more deals from SE, PC Byte, and other stores in the coming weeks. Good luck :)

    For lack of better wording, is this the good samsung or troublesome one?

      the 840 is the troublesome one.
      The 850(this one) is the good.

      But if you have the slot, get the 2.5inc ssd, cheaper and better.

      • Infraction on 10/07/2015 - 17:13

        I read the fix was ineffective, if i've got an 840 that hasn't been used yet are they refundable?

        • iridiumstem on 10/07/2015 - 20:34
          +1

          From what I gather, it wasn't that the fix doesn't alleviate the read speed problem, but rather, it doesn't fix the issue itself. (So what they do is pretty much rewrite the old data)

          http://www.anandtech.com/show/9196/samsung-releases-second-8…

          I am not sure whether that can be seen as a basis for refund, as much as I think it should, not sure about legal stuff.

    • iridiumstem on 10/07/2015 - 14:53

      The model has not been around for enough for someone to say it's good or bad yet, imo. Even the 840 and 840 EVO were considered alright by many people before the read speed problems started to appear. That said, they usd TLC NAND like 840 EVO (even though apparently, they've ironed out all the issues).

          @Maddison:
          The stock drive appears to be a 7mm or 9.5mm thick 2.5" drive, which you could replace. The manual warns "Although you can upgrade the hard drive, it is not designed to be removed and reinserted on a regular basis. Repeated and frequent removal, for purposes other than to upgrade for greater capacity, can cause damage to the system."

          I would say it should be fine if you did replace it with a normal size SSD. It will not fit one of these MSATA drives at any rate. Your best bet would be to buy the equivalent M.2 drive from somewhere like umart, cheapest on staticice. This way you retain the original drive and can use it for additional storage. To replace it would be something like this.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/07/2015 - 14:24

          @frankyman: Oooh, I see now. I thought this went where the hard drive lives. My bad. Thanks for your patience, links, and explanation. Appreciate it.

          @Maddison:
          All good. Also, was just reading about the different sizes of M.2 boards, not sure if the one I linked will actually fit. You might need to contact Lenovo and ask them for some clarification on the length supported by that slot if you did want to upgrade.

          Be careful with Lenovo and anything connecting internally on the mini-PCI port - I'm specifically referring to Wifi cards but may be applicable to other devices. in order to run non-Lenovo Wifi cards on the Mini-PCIe you need a WhiteList modfied BIOS. I needed one of these for my sons Hackintosh T420 (he went back to Windows, but an interesting exrercise for me)

      Hi bti_jet,

      Sorry to hear your experience with us. Due to the limitation of our current inventory system, we do meet up with overselling issues when different sales channel sold the same product at very similar period of time. This has improved over the year and we are currently in the process of upgrading to a better system to control our stock which should eliminate such issues once and for all once implemented.

      Comment on the ebay post mention refunded customer straight away, but i'm giving the benefit of the doubt to you and if you are willing to consider us again, PM me your SE username so i can arrange something for you.

      I don't think many motherboards will support mSATA in a desktop. I used an M.2 SSD as the OS drive in my new PC build and it was nice to use - no cables required, just plugged straight onto the motherboard between the PCIe slots for the graphics cards. Very neat

    • edfrane on 10/07/2015 - 18:30
      +1

      I think only laptops would have msata slots. The size of the card is 1/3 of a business card, hence for laptops.

      But honestly I don't see why you would want a msata for desktop.
      Better off getting a 2.5 SSD, their cheaper, and probably more reliable.
      If not, then aim for m.2 slots not a msata, as it is a PCI slot and "may" have faster speeds in the future.

      But pretty much, if you have the slot, you can have it as a primary drive.

      • scrimshaw on 10/07/2015 - 18:34

        You can install MSATA drives in a desktop, it does require you to buy a special PCIE express adapter for it or one that can convert MSATA to regular SATA.

      It depends on if your system can take M2 or mSATA…But 275 for M2 is also pretty cheap…At this stage, the difference between both in terms of speed is very negligible although M2 has the potential to be much faster in future but the speed is limited by the current hardware.

    Hi so my laptop has both a HD slot and an mSata slot. The msata slot currently has a 30gb card in it used to speed up my computer. Thinking of swapping it out from one of these and using the extra space as a normal disk. Int time I will replace both my HD with and SSD and upgrade my mSata SSD. My question is is there much of a difference between a mSATA SSD and a regular SSD. Which is more important to upgrade first? I'm hoping the upgrade of both will lead to a temperature reduction and better power consumption.
